What about Aboo, Abee and Ghabee?

Their fav Aboo Haneefa

why do you still see this as a salafi thing. it depends on where you from. do you know how we spell our arabic words here in south africa. this is for non indian south africans like me we the letter after Jeem we write it as Gaa & not haa. & this is much better because we wouldnt make the mistake of putting a haa (leter before hamzah) in a word like Hamd. so we do not say alhamdulillah we would say algamdulillah. unfortunitly many people say these arabic words the way they spelled. even muslims pronounce incorrectly due to transliteration. beautiful names are spoiled by this. names like Talha are now Tala, Hudhayfah is Huzayfa, Faathima is Fatma, the worst I heard is Muhammad Ali. all you hear is Momedli.
